Medical Devices Firm, After Fast Start, Seen As Long-term `Buy' Shares Of Bionx Implants Inc. Hit $31.88 In February And Closed At $9.38 Yesterday. Analysts Say The Stock May Be Right For Investors With Long Horizons.
December 8, 1998
By Andrea Ahles, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Bionx Implants Inc. shot its way into the stock market in April 1997 with a product called the Meniscus Arrow, which investors and analysts seemed to think had tremendous potential for profitability. Analysts estimated that the medical-devices company in Blue Bell would reach $33 million in revenue this year, compared with only $5 million in 1996. Bionx stock reached a high of $31.88 in February. But when the company announced in March that it expected its sales for the first two quarters to be $1 million to $2 million less than originally anticipated because of increased competition, the sell-off of its stock began.
Generic competition coming to medical devices
July 25, 2012
By David Sell, Inquirer Staff Writer
Generic competition - a billion-dollar problem for brand-name drug companies since the 1980s - is making inroads in the orthopedic-medical-devices industry. Last week, Cardinal Health Inc., one of the three biggest device wholesalers, said it was increasing its offering of lower-cost products for broken bones. This nascent trend, borne of increasing pressure to control health-care costs, represents a direct threat to brand-name device-makers, such as West Chester-based Synthes, which was bought in June by Johnson & Johnson for $19.7 billion.
Legal tussle in market for medical devices
April 5, 2012
By David Sell, Inquirer Staff Writer
The emerging market for generic medical devices is the backdrop for a legal fight between Synthes Inc., and several former employees who created a company to sell similar products for less money. Headquartered in Switzerland but with facilities in Chester County, Synthes is a global leader in selling plates, rods, screws, and power tools to fix broken bones, which is why Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay $21.3 billion for Synthes. Yearly global medical-device sales amount to about $300 billion and, with aging populations in developed nations, the market isn't going away.
Makers Of Medical Devices Accused Of Not Reporting Deaths, Injuries
August 4, 1989
By Kenneth J. Cooper, Inquirer Washington Bureau
Makers of various medical devices violated federal law by not reporting seven deaths and more than 100 serious injuries associated with their products in recent years, a consumer group alleged yesterday. The Public Citizen Health Research Group, founded by Ralph Nader, also criticized the Food and Drug Administration for failing to prosecute any companies for violating the reporting law, which took effect in late 1984. FDA documents obtained by the group indicated that 35 companies did not report seven deaths, 109 serious injuries and 265 malfunctions related to their products between December 1985 and June 1988.
Medical-Device Immunity FDA to the rescue?
February 27, 2008
The Supreme Court stripped away a key consumer health protection for Americans last week by granting legal immunity to makers of federally approved medical devices, such as joint prosthetics, breast implants and defibrillators. As a result, injured patients who want to sue for damages in state court are basically out of luck. The impact from the high court's decision was immediate. Hours after the ruling, a state court judge in Florida asked attorneys with cases involving Johnson & Johnson's drug-coated Cypher heart stent whether the lawsuits should continue.
Medical devices help boost J&J profit
July 20, 2005
By Thomas Ginsberg INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Johnson & Johnson Inc.'s growing reliance on medical devices over pharmaceuticals paid off in the second quarter, helping to boost revenue 11 percent over a year earlier, the company said yesterday. J&J, which is based in New Brunswick, N.J., and has several subsidiaries in the Philadelphia area, said net income rose to $2.68 billion, or 89 cents a share, from $2.46 billion, or 82 cents, in the same period a year ago. The growth was powered mostly by a 20 percent increase in sales of medical devices and diagnostics, to $4.9 billion.
Medical Devices And Cellular-phone Interference: Dial D For Danger The Fda Reports Interference To Such Items As Wheelchairs, Monitors And Pacemakers.
July 24, 1995
By Sue Chastain, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
It's a phenomenon nearly everybody has experienced: You turn on the hair dryer, and suddenly there's snow on the TV set. Or you're using your cellular phone and you unexpectedly pick up local radio, or a stranger's conversation. It's called electromagnetic interference (EMI), and it refers to the fact that electrical devices emit electromagnetic energy that can interfere with other devices. Most of the time, this is nothing more than a momentary annoyance. However, if the device being disrupted is a piece of life-saving medical equipment - say, a pacemaker - the potential consequences can be far more serious.
FDA protecting wrong party Instead of keeping Americans safe from faulty drugs and medical devices, the administration is saving producers from lawsuits.
July 18, 2008
By Richard Golomb
More than 200 years ago, America's greatest patriots convened to write a document that would empower us all with inalienable rights, liberties and freedoms. But on this past Monday in Philadelphia, the cradle of the Constitution, drug and medical-device companies met to unilaterally rewrite this contract and remove one of its most important pillars: the right to trial by jury. And to pour salt on the wound, a high-ranking official inside the Food and Drug Administration, the government agency tagged with protecting the public from dangerous drugs and devices, was a featured speaker at this meeting.
Casting a light on 'off-label' medical devices Synthes allegedly marketed Norian XR to treat spinal fractures, a use not approved by the FDA.
June 23, 2009
By Miriam Hill INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Synthes Inc. handpicked the surgeons. The West Chester maker of orthopedic products also paid for the doctors' travel to training sessions in San Diego and Charlotte, N.C. There, company employees explained how to use their new bone-mending cement to fix a type of spinal fracture that afflicts hundreds of thousands of people yearly, most of them elderly. Federal prosecutors alleged in an indictment of the company last week that these training sessions were a dangerous, illegal, and less expensive substitute for clinical trials required by the Food and Drug Administration.
Jefferson provides data on endoscope, 'superbugs'
March 15, 2015
By Tom Avril, Inquirer Staff Writer
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital said Friday that eight patients in 2013 and 2014 tested positive for drug-resistant "superbug" bacteria after being examined with a special kind of tough-to-clean endoscope. Yet hospital officials said they had found no proof that the devices, called duodenoscopes, had actually transmitted the infections. Jefferson's finding came after an investigation lasting several months, with help from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - highlighting continued nationwide scrutiny being paid to the complex, $40,000 instruments, which are used to examine the bile and pancreatic ducts.

GAO to investigate medical device implicated in cancers
September 7, 2015
By Marie McCullough, Inquirer Staff Writer
The U.S. Government Accountability Office has agreed to investigate why an electric device used in gynecological surgery was marketed for two decades before safety warnings were issued by the Food and Drug Administration. The GAO, which investigates how the government spends tax dollars, sent a confirmatory letter to U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R., Pa.). He and 11 other members of Congress requested the probe last month. The tissue-slicing device, called a power morcellator, enables hysterectomies to be done through small abdominal incisions, but it can also spread and worsen undetected uterine cancer.
Phila. actor who lost leg in hit-run talks about future
June 12, 2015
By Caroline Simon, Inquirer Staff Writer
Barely 36 hours after a horrific hit-and-run accident that cost him his right leg, stage actor Michael Toner focused on the future. "What can you say? Life is unpredictable," Toner, 68, said Wednesday from his hospital bed at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. "I've been in much worse situations, let's put it that way. " Toner ended up at Jefferson after a vehicle ran him down before 1 a.m. Tuesday on Market Street between 11th and 12th Streets, where he remained until a passerby found him. Toner said he had been running errands when he was struck, which he thinks happened about 11 p.m. Otherwise, he doesn't remember anything.
Medical device complaint reportedly draws FBI attention
May 29, 2015
By Marie McCullough, Inquirer Staff Writer
After a surgical device spread an aggressive but undetected uterine cancer inside anesthesiologist Amy Reed in late 2013, she and her husband launched a campaign to ban electric morcellators. Now, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has gotten involved, according to Reed's husband, Philadelphia heart surgeon Hooman Noorchashm, and Sarah Robinson, a California woman whose cancer was also worsened by the device. Both said Wednesday that they have been interviewed by FBI agents, and believe the FBI is looking into whether manufacturers failed to report deaths and serious injuries to the Food and Drug Administration, as required by federal law. "I had been trying to get the FBI's attention for a very long time," said Noorchashm, a heart surgeon at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
Jobs picture improving, but area's laid-off professionals still need work
March 16, 2015
By Jane M. Von Bergen, Inquirer Staff Writer
The U.S. Labor Department jobs reports are glowing - unemployment down to 5.5 percent last month and a robust 295,000 jobs added to the nation's payrolls. Even in the Philadelphia suburbs, the latest figures show the rate even lower, at 5 percent. But why, if everything is so good, are monthly sessions packed at My Career Transitions, a local networking group of volunteers who help people looking for work? "It's not as rosy as the numbers indicate," said Michael Hughes. "I see new faces every month.

Chester County medical device company fined by OSHA
February 19, 2015
By Jane M. Von Bergen, Inquirer Staff Writer
A Chester County company that assembles surgical carts used in medical facilities faces more than $42,000 in fines for exposing workers to chemical hazards, the U.S. Labor Department said Tuesday. Following a complaint in September, the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration found that Seitz Technical Products in Oxford did not properly label hazardous chemicals, provide eye wash stations, train employees in use of hazardous chemicals or maintain a library of chemical safety sheets.
Two more studies say FDA bad at regulating medical devices
October 1, 2014
By Marie McCullough, Inquirer Staff Writer
Two new studies add to a mountain of evidence that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has done a poor job of making sure medical devices are safe. The studies, in the current issue of JAMA Internal Medicine, are accompanied by commentaries that point out that the agency recognizes the need for change and is in the midst of improving the device approval system. But critics say the FDA has an inherent conflict because of its dual role of protecting public health and encouraging medical innovation.
Inquirer Editorial: Choose Hughes and LoBiondo
May 24, 2014
New Jersey's sprawling Second District, which includes all or part of eight southern counties, has been hobbled by high unemployment and a suffering tourism industry. Those issues only heighten the importance of next month's primary to choose its candidates for Congress. For Republican voters, the easy choice is the incumbent, FRANK LoBIONDO , who has served his district for 20 years. His opponent, Mike Assad, a former member of the Absecon Board of Education, isn't ready for this job. LoBiondo has proved his worthiness by refusing to let party labels keep him from working with Democrats to end the government shutdown and extend unemployment benefits.
Widower sues medical-device maker over hysterectomy
March 19, 2014
By Marie McCullough, Inquirer Staff Writer
The husband of a Berks County woman who died of a rare uterine cancer following a minimally invasive hysterectomy is suing the maker of the device used in her surgery at Reading Hospital. The lawsuit, filed Friday in federal court in Philadelphia, adds to controversy over electric tissue-cutting "morcellators. " The devices let doctors remove tissue through tiny abdominal incisions, shortening patients' hospitalization and recovery. In rare cases, the process can disseminate an aggressive uterine cancer, leiomyosarcoma, that routine diagnostic tests usually miss.

15 Marijuana Grow Houses From L.A. To I.E. Busted In Federal Raid; 10 Arrested
Ten people were arrested yesterday and 8,000 plants were seized in a hydroponic marijuana-grow ring that spanned Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced.
That's a lot of weed.
Authorities say one of the ringleaders, a 39-year-old "top lieutenant" from Monterey Park named Andy Tran, was an at-large fugitive:
Twenty-six locations from Arcadia to Corona were raided by feds with search warrants in-hand, the office said. Fifteen grow houses were taken down, prosecutors said.
They alleged that Arcadia resident Raymond Lam was a kingpin who organized a weed empire:
U.S. Attorney's Office
The drug trafficking organization purchased or leased single-family residences, which were converted to indoor farms with the sole purpose of growing marijuana. Each house contained industrial-size marijuana growing operations that contained, on average, 1,000 to 2,000 marijuana plants.
The marijuana grow houses exhibited identical arrangements that included specific types of hydroponic growing equipment and stolen electricity obtained through sophisticated bypasses of utility meters. After the marijuana was harvested, it was sold throughout California and across the United States.
The defendants named in a federal indictment were hit with charges of "conspiracy to manufacture, to distribute, and to possess with intent to distribute marijuana," the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
That could mean at least 10 years if a suspect is successfully prosecuted, feds said.
Here's a list of 11 suspects -- innocent until proven guilty -- in the case, according to a U.S. Attorney's statement:
U.S. Attorney's Office
-Raymond A. Lam, who also used the name "Nam A. Lam," 42, of Arcadia, accused of being the overall leader of the drug trafficking organization and overseeing the acquisition of residences that were converted into full-scale, industrial-type marijuana grows;
-Simon Lam, 32, of Arcadia, a top lieutenant to Raymond Lam;
-Ken Ho, also known as "Ken Lam," 33, of Arcadia, a top lieutenant to Raymond Lam;
San S. Voong, also known as "Chen Sheng Wang," 35, of Arcadia, another top lieutenant to Raymond Lam;
-Phieu Tran, 35, of El Monte;
-Augustine Bazan Camacho, 41, of Pomona, allegedly a veteran "plant tender" who was responsible for maintaining many of the grow houses;
-Thanh Van Phu, 33, of El Monte;
-Luc Kai Phoung, who is also known as "Wong Fong," "Al Fong " and "Na Na," 50, of Rosemead, who allegedly built the electrical and utility meter by-pass systems used at the grow houses;
-Steven Huytu Lam, 52, of Walnut; and
-Li Ya Si, 42, of Temple City.

Colorado became on Monday the second state, after Washington, to make it legal for people to possess and grow small amounts of marijuana, after voters in the Centennial State passed Amendment 64 to their state constitution in the November election.
"Voters were loud and clear on election day, and we will begin working immediately with the General Assembly (legislature) and state agencies to implement Amendment 64," Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, said in announcing an Executive Order.
The governor set up a 24-member task force to deal with such issues as security requirements at marijuana dispensaries and education of young people on marijuana's long term health effects.
Amendment 64 provides a right for adults 21 and older to grow three mature marijuana plants, and three starter plants. Possessing and growing marijuana remains illegal under federal law. The U.S. Justice Department issued a reminder statement on the prohibition last week, but with the ambiguous heading that it is "studying" measures passed by Washington and Colorado voters in November.

The Executive Order by Hickenlooper ratifies results of the November election, just as Gov. Chris Gregoire in Washington did last Wednesday.
"It formalizes the amendment as part of the State Constitution and makes legal the personal use, possession and limited home growing of marijuana for adults 21 years of age and older," Hickenlooper said in a statement.
Colorado had previously legalized medical use of marijuana, and a thriving, highly profitable dispensary business has grown up in the state.
Just as Seattle has its signature marijuana event — the annual summer Hempfest on the waterfront — Boulder, Colorado, is a major center of annual smoke-in protests held on April 20. As many as 10,000 students and supporters have gathered on the University of Colorado campus to partake of the forbidden weed.
Hempfest in Seattle has strong municipal support. Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, City Attorney Pete Holmes and TV travel guru are regular speakers. Not so the Boulder smoke-in. In order to discourage turnout this spring, University of Colorado administrators spread laws on the North Quadrangle with a pungent smelling fish-based fertilizer. It competed with the sweet smell of cannabis.

Birmingham City Council says approached by sovereign funds.
September 21, 2010 1:25 by Reuters
Birmingham council leaders are in talks with Middle East sovereign funds, hoping to plug a budget hole selling some of the billions of pounds of trophy assets owned by Britain's second city.
The NEC — the biggest exhibition centre in Britain — prime real estate and a stake in Birmingham Airport could all be up for grabs, councillors said, as they look to fund big capital projects at a time when the national government is demanding deep spending cuts.
Mike Whitby, leader of Birmingham City Council which represents over 1 million people and describes itself as Europe's biggest local authority, said he had been approached by sovereign wealth funds and was talking with the Abu Dhabi government as he tries to forge closer ties to the Middle East
"We would allow them to be in partnership with our assets including the National Indoor Arena (NIA), the Symphony Hall, the ICC (International Convention Centre) and the National Exhibition Centre (NEC)," Whitby, a member of Britain's ruling Conservative Party, told Reuters.

Reconfigure your network connection with isp-switch
When an Internet provider goes down, users suffer. Alternatively, users can immediately switch to another ISP. We'll show you a Perl script that can help you reconfigure your computer to make the switch.
In California, two major competitors currently offer Internet access to private households: AT&T with broadband DSL and Comcast with broadband Internet via the TV cable. A DSL or cable modem picks up data off the wire, and a router connects the machines on the home network with the Internet. Both providers have their advantagesand disadvantages. The cable solution suffers from too many kids in the neighborhood playing World of Warcraft because bandwidth drops as more users join the network.

Minute Maid ought to consider getting out of the orange juice business and think about breaking into mushy greeting cards.
Dove definitely has Father's Day all figured out.
Next Sunday (06-21-15) is "Father's Day" and as we get ready to let dad know how much we appreciate what he's done throughout the years let's take a look at some of the things dad's do for their kids.
Happy "Father's Day" from the whole gang here at Z94! Hopefully if you're a Dad you're spending the day relaxing, hanging out, doing some B-B-Q, watching T.V. or maybe playing some video games. Today's your day so do whatever the hell you want, Monday will be here soon enough. So enjoy your day and make the very best of it!
Don't forget about dear old Dad. This Sunday is "Father's Day" and you owe it the man to give him exactly what he wants, to be left the hell alone for a day! Don't get me wrong gifts are appreciated, but silence and solitude are even better. So do the right thing, tell him you love him them get the hell out of the way!
If you're a dad, chances are you're getting some ties, socks and, if you're lucky, a sweet "No. 1 Dad" mug this Sunday. But what do you REALLY want...
Thanks, LEGO! This is way better than a lame-o Father's Day greeting card. Just email this video to your dad and call it done. Maybe buy him a big piece of meat or something...
Good ol' dad. You wouldn't exist if not for him. But that's not all that makes dads great. Let's not forget their penchant for terrible jokes. Combine that with technology, and you've got some text treasures on your hands. Here's just a smattering of ridiculous dad texts to honor dads for Father's Day.
Father's Day is fast approaching and we believe Dad deserves just as much man-pampering on his special day as Mom does on Mother's Day.
Father's Day -- it's the one time of the year you can tell the old man you appreciate how much he tolerates you constantly hitting him up for advice, wisdom and money.
The Major League Baseball Lifetime Pass is a little-known perk rarely handed out to MLB players, personnel and fans. Much like its name would suggest, the gold-plated pass grants the person to whom it is issued a lifetime of access to any MLB stadium...
Sure, your dad saidhe didn't want anything for Father's Day, but that might also have been a not-so-subtle hint that, thanks to the last several holidays, he has quite enough ties and golf balls, thank you.

State released 7,000 more of Hilary Clinton's emails, those…documents…transmitted via her private, unprotected email server. One hundred fifty of them contained classified information.
State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the emails in question were "subsequently upgraded" to classified. He stressed that none of the emails was considered classified at the time.
This is so utterly disingenuous as to be outright lies. The material in the emails were not "subsequently upgraded" to classified; they were only marked classified after the fact. The material was classified all along.

War Thunder was already pretty war-y, what with its battling sky-tanks. Or "planes". Now, though, it's even war-ier, thanks to a new update that introduces ground-tanks. Or "tanks". The long-teased Ground Forces expansion has been released into open beta, giving a new altitude for players of the free-to-play combat game to fight across. Naturally, the launch trailer features lots of angry metal
As numbers go, 1.37 is pretty unassuming. In terms of game updates, it's the sort of number that would herald a percentage decrease in assault rifle bullet drop, the removal of Herobrine, or the fixing of a rare bug that caused all enemies to be jam. But major game changing features? Surely you'd save that for a proper tenth decimal place.
Not if you're War Thunder, apparently. Their 1.37
It's a celebrity packed trailer for War Thunder's Ground Forces expansion. They've got all the stars: the infamous Light-Grey Tank, the controversial Dark-Grey Tank, and the much idolised Dirty Greenish Tank. Okay, fine, I'm as unsuited to distinguishing between tanks as I am to actual celebrities. Whatever their names are, though, they're probably here, in a big ol' tank montage introducing the
How thunderous are planes? They're in the sky, which is where thunder lives, but do they really have that unstoppably primal element that should accompany the adjective? If not, that's a problem for a game like War Thunder, which until now has focused on the aerial side of World War 2. The solution, it seems, is to introduce playable ground forces to the free-to-play dogfighter - specifically
Roll 20 lets players around the world play D&D together, revealing an interesting friction between old-school RPG design and modern videogames.
World War 2 combat simulator War Thunder has come a long way since it got Steam Greenlight approval back in February. Russian developer Gaijin Entertainment has released a gorgeous new CGI trailer for the free-to-play MMO, giving us a slow-motion glance at the human side of its incredibly mechanized battlefield of planes, tanks, and naval warships.
I had a complicated relationship with the original Bit.Trip Runner, both really enjoying it and being hopelessly frustrated by it at the same time. The last few levels caused more vitriolic cursing than any other game I can recall. The sequel, BIT.TRIP Presents... Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, is released tomorrow. Yay?
They all laughed back on April 4, when PC Gamer posted a story on World of Planes, an exciting massively multiplayer WWII flight sim from Wings of Prey developer Gaijin Entertainment...which Gaijin revealed on their forums to be a joke. Yeah yeah, we fell for it. Very funny.
Well, who's laughing now?
That's right: Gaijin checked in today to say that World of Planes [update: not to be
Update #2: Stunning reversal! As of June 9, World of Planes is no longer a joke - it's real!

drew's Day, with a Scotch demoiselle on board, we could hardly but pilgrimage to the place of the Apostle's martyrdom. Mrs. Wood kindly sent her daughters to do the honours. Aghyos Andreas lies at the extreme south of the town on the system of ruts, called a road, which conducts down-coast. The church is a long yellow barn, fronting a cypress-grown cemetery, whose contents are being transferred to the new extramural. A little finger of the holy man reposes under a dwarf canopy in the south-eastern angle: his left arm is preserved at Mount Athos in a silver reliquary, set with gems. Outside, near the south-western corner, is the old well of Demeter (Ceres), which has not lost its curative virtues by being baptised. You descend a dwarf flight of brick steps to a mean shrine and portrait of the saint, and remark the solid bases and the rude rubble arch of the pagan temple. A fig-tree, under which the martyrdom took place, grew in the adjacent court; it has long been cut down, probably for fuel.

Talk:Comic Book Resources
|WikiProject Comics
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
|This page was nominated for deletion on 6 March 2007. The result of the discussion was Keep.
Find sources: "Comic Book Resources" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · highbeam · JSTOR · free images · wikipedia library
Should not be deleted[edit]
There are numerous reason why this article should not be deleted. This first is the impact the website and websites like it has had on mass media and culture. Second the website represents a subsect of culture. Finally this is an opening to a new type of articles that need to start sometime and somewhere, and should not be dictated by the whims of what network news deems important such as Anna Nicole Smith.
First mass media has an impact on culture. We can see this by the awareness brought about by movies such as Blood Diamond and the like. Therefore anything that has an effect on mass media as a dirrect link to mainstream culture. This website and those like it have had this effect, most notably in comic book movies. We just need to look at the box office sales of comic book movies to see what kind of role comic book movies has in the film department. The dirrectors, writers and actors all participate in the forums of this particular website as well as sit down for interveiws. Therefore this website and sites like it participate in the cultural shift in the world.
Next, this website is where an entire subsect of cutlure converges to talk about one of their favorite subjects. This should be a recorded and treated as valid like any other culture would be. Who is to say this is important or not? I would present other cultures deemed inconsequental and thus expendable, such as native americans. No one has the right to say this is not important.
Finally, if Anna Nicole Smith gets a web page, then why not this site? Just because mass media dictates that Anna Nicole Smith is newsworthy, does not make it so. Don't allow this to happen where mass media automatically dictates what is, and what is not important. It should be the other way around as explained in my first argument. We should, as on these sites, dictate what is, and what is not important. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Acecool79 (talk • contribs).
- Well, as it happens I strongly think this page should be kept and expanded, but I'll mention two things for you Acecool79: 1) Arguments made here on the talk page will most likely have no influence on the deletion debate. The closing administrator will likely only look at the arguments on the article for deletion entry for this article. 2) Again, I happen to think it should be kept, but I'll mention that for the most part your arguments above may have little or no bearing on the decision. You ask "Who is to say this is important or not?" and the answer, in this case, is WP:WEB, the wikipedia guidelines for notability for websites. Also I'll mention that arguments like "if Anna Nicole Smith gets a web page, then why not this site?" don't generally mean very much, per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
- I think the page should be kept, and I strongly encourage you or anyone else to give their opinion on the AfD debate...but realistically this article is in bad shape and needs to be improved to make it wiki-worthy. The deletion nomination (in my opinion) was in good faith and had some justification, based on the state of the article when it was nominated. Improve the article please, don't argue a philosophy of what the article might possibly be. -Markeer 13:28, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Umm, that's what I was trying to say. The editor making the comments above did not sign. Leuko 15:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, fixed -Markeer 15:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
comic book idol[edit]
The site holds this kind of contest to discover aspiring comic book artists. Some of them are already working in the industry. I think it is notable to add this (dang, i was one of the unlucky who didnt make the cut) †Bloodpack† 04:25, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yes I think it is worth a mention - if we can get enough reliable sources together then it could warrant a smallish section.
- Sorry to hear you didn't win - if you don't mind me asking which was your entry? (Emperor 19:47, 8 November 2007 (UTC))
- I should have done a bit of digging before asking - good stuff. (Emperor 20:59, 8 November 2007 (UTC))
here are some of the past contestants who successfully landed a job in the comic book industry through the CBI contest [1] [2] [3] [4] †Bloodpack† 04:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for that - I've now added the information, I am sure there is more but that is a solid start. (Emperor (talk) 22:28, 15 April 2008 (UTC))
- thanks too emp, im kinda lazy to do it =] anyways, i made some additions †Bloodpack† 07:52, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Requested move[edit]
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: nomination withdrawn. Further discussion may be required at Talk:Salon.com and/or Talk:TMZ.com, but it's clear there is no consensus to move this article. (non-admin closure) Jenks24 (talk) 20:57, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Comic Book Resources → ComicBookResources.com – I can certainly see the point in not having .com when there's a print analog to a website. In this case, I believe titling this article "Comic Book Resources" gives a misimpression that it exists as a print publication and not solely as a website. I'd use the longstanding Salon.com or TMZ.com as example, since they could have been disambiguated as "Salon (website)" or "TMZ (website)" or similar. Not using ".com" in the title as an indicator seems unintentionally misleading. Removing the .com also seems to suggest there is something wrong or inferior about being a web-only publication, when this is simply factual and neutral. --Tenebrae (talk) 03:25, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Additionally, in terms of common usage, aside from seeing the full name with in book footnotes, I noticed last night reading Avengers Academy #25 (April 2012) that a house ad on page 20 of the issue contains blurbs attributed to ComicsBulletin.com, Comicvine.com, and iFanboy.com, among similar others, while the Daredevil house ad opposite in on page 21 has ComicBookResources.com. Notably, the ads also make a distinction with print publications, citing USA Today and Complex. --Tenebrae (talk) 15:18, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Support - Following Tenebrae's reasoning. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 16:27, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Comment - Is Comic Book Resources not the common name of the website?--TriiipleThreat (talk) 18:05, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose, I looked through the inline references, and both the Eagle Awards and the University of Buffalo use "Comic Book Resources". I'd also strongly disagree about it being misleading, or suggesting web-only stuff is inferior - where did you get that from? Cross porpoises (talk) 19:01, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Tenebrae is not suggesting that at all, he stated that the act of removing the ".com" makes web-only stuff seem inferior. Still I suggest using whatever the common name of the website is.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:10, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose - I just spent a fair amount of time looking over a BUNCH of pages, both policy pagess, and article examples. First, I can't find ANY guideline which says that using *.com is the suggested guidance. And in lack of that, we should go with "common practice". And I don't see it in common practice either. Facebook, Hotmail, Google, Internet Movie Database, etc. Best as I can tell, the .com suffix should ONLY be used as a disambiguation. Which would explain why it's used at Salon and TMZ. Not seeing any need for disambiguation here, I must oppose. - jc37 19:46, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose. Per my comments elsewhere, TMZ, Salon, and Amazon require disambiguation, Comics Bulletin does not. See also the websites cited by jc37. The evidence of Category:News websites, Category:Entertainment websites, and Category:American online magazines is that the domain suffix is very rarely used, and even then mostly for disambiguation. --DeLarge (talk) 22:25, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- WP:COMMONNAME is a fair point, and I'm willing to withdraw the request, though we should probably keep it up for a week since there may be additional, third views we haven't brought up. --Tenebrae (talk) 23:14, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose -
- It requires no disambiguation
- The site's banner reads "Comic Book Resources", not "ComicBookResources.com"
- The copyright notice on the page reads "© 1995-2011 Comic Book Resources. All Rights Reserved."
- What is the actual point in this? On the article page, CBR is introduced as "ComicBookResources.com", and that's the name used for the infobox, too, and later in the article. Why? I can't see any reason why all those "ComicBookResource.com"'s shouldn't be changed immediately to "Comic Book Resources", myself. In the case of Amazon, the ".com" is actually part of the name (and in the logo), so it's not even a matter of disambiguation there---that's the actual name of the company. That's not the case with CBR. CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 23:41, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose. While the name of some websites seem to include the ".com", some do not. As Curly Turkey notes above, CBR seems to be called Comic Book Resources. ".com" is simply the necessary domain suffix. Nightscream (talk) 00:43, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose. Looking at Wikipedia:COMMONNAME, it seems that we should aim for naturalness and conciseness. A comparision may be made with the usage of a full corporate name. For example, the Wikipedia article for Time Warner Inc. is called "Time Warner". Terms such as "Inc.", "Corp.", and "Ltd." are usually not used in article titles. The ".com" suffix is so ubiquitous now, that including it in the article title is unnecessary. I cede the point to Tenebrae in regards to "Amazon.com" and "Salon.com", but except where the ".com" is needed for disambiguation, it should not be included. Mtminchi08 (talk) 02:02, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
- Withdrawing proposal From the discussion here and at Talk:Comics Bulletin, it seems WP:SNOWBALL at this point, so while protocol is to wait seven days, I'm happy to withdraw my proposal, provided we have some consistency. If the name is Comic Book Resources and not ComicBookResources.com, then the names are Salon and TMZ. We don't need ".com" to disambiguate; Salon (website) and TMZ (website) disambiguate without changing the names. --Tenebrae (talk) 23:40, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
